Included is a line-up of the star-powered Renaissance celebrities: Michelangelo, Raphael, Dante, Galileo, da Vinci, Donatello, Machiavelli, and plenty more. A brief synopsis of the Renaissance serves as the backdrop to the fun tales, trivia, factoids, and a huge cache of personally-shot rich photographs.

Appealing to the traveler that wants to know more than simply where to eat or drink, Civalleri's unique approach is proving to fill a gap in traditional travel books that has not yet been fully addressed. She merges her lifelong loves of travel and deep history to create a new genre of guidebook for the vacationer that cherishes deep travel. Civalleri dismantled an exciting albeit complex part of history and reassembled it piece by piece into bits of microcontent that will suit even the most time-constrained Florence tourist.

Stories & Tales include:
- The Pirate Pope
- Execution of a Mad Monk
- The Plague Doctor
- Skull Worship
- Punching Michelangelo
- Da Vinci's Secret Woman
- Kidnapped into Slavery
- Dead Man's Quarry
... and much more.
